Thanks for this thread, and this map! It would however be nice to include that most of the continent had decentralized civilisations which don't get attention like Ethiopia, Egypt, Mali, Zimbabwe, because we love stories of empires and powerful kings, not those of varying forms of direct democracy and communal governance; systems that the colonialist dismissed as anarchic and evidence of primitivity for they equated civilisation with authoritarian rule. And they still do!
